Smart high-tech companies are characterized by knowledge intensity and open innovation. Even when these companies emerge in spatial clusters or dense urban places, they may utilize knowledge networks on a global scale. However, there is not much insight into the factors that shape knowledge networks, the role of virtualization herein and the impact of on global knowledge sourcing on local conne...

Recently, the property of connectedness has been claimed to give a strong motivation on the design of local search techniques for multiobjective combinatorial optimization. Indeed, when connectedness holds, a basic Pareto local search, initialized with at least one non-dominated solution, allows to identify the efficient set exhaustively. However, this becomes quickly infeasible in practice as ...

We consider a nonconvex and nonclosed higher order differential inclusion and we prove the arcwise connectedness of the solution set.

ofThe Transcendental Critique Revisited and Revised Dooyeweerd’s account of abstraction is examined and found to be faulty. He holds that abstract thinkingisolates aspects which must then be synthesized, whereas I argue that we cannot isolate any aspect from the othershowever so hard we try. But our very inability to isolate aspects is then turned into an alternative version of ...

In this work, we introduce notion of connectedness on fuzzy soft topological spaces and present fundamentals properties. We also investigate effect to fuzzy soft connectedness. Moreover, $C_i$-connectedness which plays an important role in fuzzy topological space extend to fuzzy soft topological spaces.

Seven experiments investigated whether part connectedness would facilitate the perception of spatial relations among object parts. Experiments 1-4 showed that objects composed of connected parts are easier to distinguish from distractors in rapid serial visual presentation sequences than objects composed of separated parts and that this effect cannot be attributed to the presence of local featu...

For a set X of vertices of a graph fulfilling local connectedness conditions the existence of a cycle containing X is proved. AMS classification: 05C38, 05C45, 05C35
